AMISOM forces head to Howlwadaq as fighting intensifies in Baledweyne, central Somalia

Amisom forces have crossed to Howlwadaq area in Baledweyne in a bid to contain the three days clan clashes.

Goobjoog News correspondent in the area says AMISOM tanks have crossed a bridge heading to Howlwadaq as fighting intensifies.

The casualty figures cannot be easily established owing to the continued floods which have displaced hundreds of families, our correspondent says. The place lacks hospitals making it the more difficult to get any information about any deaths or injuries.
